The Texas Rangers have made a significant roster adjustment by claiming first baseman Blaine Crim off waivers, sending him to the Colorado Rockies. Crim, a right-handed hitter, was previously designated for assignment after the Rangers made multiple trade deadline moves. Following a promising minor league career with the Rangers, he made his MLB debut earlier this season but struggled, finishing with no hits in 11 at-bats over five games. His journey now leads him to Albuquerque, the Rockies’ Triple-A affiliate, where he hopes to reignite his career.

In addition to Crim’s departure, outfielder Dustin Harris was also DFA'd but has cleared waivers and returned to Triple-A Round Rock. With roster changes imminent, the Rangers continue to reshape their lineup, which includes evaluating their current roster for potential role changes moving forward. This week also saw pitcher Robert Garcia exit a game due to a back spasm, raising questions about the team's closing options.
